At the 53rd minute Corona’s corner managed to find Jamie Maclaren free in the box, however he did not get a clean strike and was saved by Lawrence Thomas.

The best chance for Brisbane came after just under an hour played. A through ball to Maclaren was misjudged by Thomas Deng and it led to Giancarlo Gallifuoco chasing the in-form striker looking certain to score, only to be denied by Thomas.

With 20 minutes remaining Ollie Bozanic’s shot was deflected by Henrique just over the crossbar.

Seven minutes later Corona played in Henrique and once again Thomas denied the Roar. In the final 15 minutes, Victory looked the better team, providing an intense finish to the game.

Lawrence Thomas was the hero for the Victory and ironically Adelaide United, James Donachie’s shot was dramatically stopped at the 91st minute.

In one of the greatest scoreless draws in Hyundai A-League history, the Brisbane fans and cohort head back to Queensland deflated after an opportunity missed.
